The camp will run from Aug. 4-11. If he can survive the cuts, he’ll have earned a spot on the USA World Junior Championship team and will compete in the 2013 World Junior Championships in Russia. Haar is one of 46 players playing for a spot on that coveted team.

In this year’s draft, the Caps have three seventh round picks (195, 197, and 203). Haar is the reason why those shouldn’t be taken lightly and just traded away. At last year’s development camp, McPhee referred to Haar as the “surprise” of the camp. And after his season, it’s clear why.

So McPhee, if you’re reading, don’t trade away those picks. In an incredibly deep draft class, there could definitely be a diamond in the rough.
